Two shots later all is well. What surprised me is how they found the stinger under all the curly hair! They showed it to us on a gauze. We were shocked. They said they get at least 2 bee stings a night. Sure enough - less than 5 minutes later here comes a beagle with a large, swollen face... poor little guy.
The shots made her sleepy and we got rare full night's sleep.
So, no bad stuff to report. Just our first scare. |
Hopefully it'll be your last.
Children's Benadryl is great to keep on hand. I administer 3 cc for a 5 pound dog. But you did the best thing, glad you got a good nights sleep.
